I’m Evan Sylliaasen. Back in my early 20's I discovered the power of resins through incense and aromatherapy, then learned how to craft them into other extra-potent medicinal and aromatic preparations. I felt like I unlocked a special key to the natural world of healing by tapping into these powerful, gem-like substances that the ancients revered.

Through my companies, Higher Mind Incense, and The Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine, I’ve helped thousands of herbalists, aromatherapists, and plant lovers like you learn how to work with resins successfully.

I created The Botanical Resins & Gums Course to teach you every aspect of working with resins across various aromatic and medicinal practices, leaving you with a complete experience and many avenues to pursue to your heart’s content; from healing, to beauty, enjoyment, and ritual.
